1. I'd take it to the laundy mat.
2. I would find a detergent made for delicate materials. If you can't find one then I suggest taking it to the cleaners.
3. Use Woolite and wash it by hand in the bath tub then lay it out on a towel to dry. If it is yellowed there are products that will take the yellow out safely - I think one is called Restoration.
4. My washer has a hand wash cycle on it so I would use that. Being very careful as to what detergent I used. Woolite or something similar.
